This song was written by its founding co-director, Brenda Epperson. Her inspiration for the song came from Isaiah 61, and the sound for “I Cry Freedom,” came from the memories of her deceased father, Don Epperson. Don was a country western singer, as well as a RCA/Victor Recording artist on his way to success before his untimely death. Brenda is best known for the eight years she played Ashley Abbott on The Young & The Restless.  Her credits and accomplishments span over a decade. Brenda’s success in music is notable. She signed with Sony Tri/Star Music, charted with her Single “If You Believe,” and was chosen as the opening act for the world famous Lionel Richie on his “Time” tour.  Brenda and Lionel toured all over Europe, entertaining crowds that reached upwards of 20,000.

“I really hope you enjoy this new song I wrote, new sound, as well as the heart behind “I Cry Freedom.”

“People often ask me where I find such strength, I simply reply God. I want to thank my family and friends who have always been there for me. I believe nothing is impossible with God! Remember, it just takes ONE.“
